Abstract
A polymer comprising a backbone portion containing at least one amide moiety and a plurality of imidazole, benzimidazole, benzoxazole, or benzothiazole moieties is prepared by contacting a polyisocyanate with a compound containing at least two end moieties selected from the following: imidazole, benzimidazole, benzoxazole, or benzothiazole, under reaction conditions sufficient to form the corresponding polymer containing amide moieties are disclosed. The process of the invention is suitable for the preparation of thermoset polymers which are advantageously free of surface defects, since a solvent is not required and no volatiles are evolved during the curing process. Urethane and/or urea polymers comprising a backbone portion containing at least one urea or urethane moiety, at least one amide moiety, and a plurality of imidazole, benzimidazole, benzoxazole, or benzothiazole moieties are also disclosed.
